I drained my fuel tank - sitting 2 years - a while ago. It still smelled like gas, no sludge or discoloration - and car fired straight up on fresh gas. Wifeys Tacoma ate all 20 gallons of the stuff I took out without complaint (3 gallons or so per tankful, just to be cautious).
Sounds like yours was sitting a lot longer than 2 years to me... Or maybe it was garbage gas...

I thought I was done with fuel pressure testers when I converted to EFI, and sold on my CIS-only test kit a long time ago.
Except now the Duc won't wake up from it's slumber - and the symptoms suggest the fuel pump perhaps doesn't run after the initial prime on key "On". Which is pretty weird...
Personally, I thought, for the extra $20, this was a much more versatile set - adapters for most everything - and seems to include everything needed for CIS as well.

Memory might be going, but I think that's substantially cheaper than the CIS-only kit I bought 10-15 years ago..
Good luck!
